If you want a new iPad Air, you’ve come to the right place. We’re now looking at the best deals and prices for the iPad Air, including contract plans. The Air continues to be incredibly popular and is an excellent intermediate station between the entry-level iPad and the high-end iPad Pro – ideal for those who need a little extra power but don’t want to spend hundreds of dollars on a device that replaces their laptop.
Apple’s latest iPad Air was released in March 2022 and is already seeing significant price drops. Plus, the older model can be found for greater savings at stores that still have stock.

Where to buy the new iPad Air 2022
If you want to buy the iPad Air directly from Apple, you can order from the Apple US or Apple UK site. There will be no discounts available, although Apple occasionally offers carrier deals and trade-in options.
Of course, Apple isn’t the only place you can buy an iPad Air, the usual resellers around the world will also stock the new model, including the following. You can see the best prices with these resellers in live price comparison boxes below.
US retailers
UK retailers
Apple has a number of Apple Premium resellers who stock iPads in the UK and also offer other services, try the following:
iPad Air Education Discounts
Apple offers higher education students and employees discounts on the iPad Air in the Education Store. However, Apple isn’t the only retailer offering student discounts. In the UK, KRCS offers up to a 10 percent discount for eligible students.
University students and teachers can also save on the iPad Air with Apple’s Education pricing.

iPad Air refurbished offers
The deals you see above are generally from Apple resellers rather than Apple itself – Apple rarely lowers prices. However, Apple does sell refurbished iPads in its refurbished store. So you can make a bargain.
The iPads in Apple’s refurbished store may be ex-display stock, or they may have been returned to Apple due to a defect, but they are now fully refurbished and come with a one-year warranty.
There is a large refurbished market for the iPad Air. We recommend checking out these refurbished iPad Air resellers offerings:

iPad Air: everything you need to know
In 2021 we saw Apple introduce a new iPad mini (6th generation), iPad Pro with M1, and a new iPad (9th generation), but the iPad Air was untouched…until March 2022 when Apple introduced the iPad Air (5th generation) .
The new iPad Air has an M1 chip, just like the 2021 iPad Pro, an improved 12MP Ultra Wide front camera with Center Stage support (compared to the 7MP FaceTime camera on the older model), and support for 5G on the mobile models. The color finishes are also a bit different from the previous generation: space gray is joined by pink, starlight, purple and blue. Other than the colors, chip and camera, the design and other features have not changed – it still has a 10.9-inch screen.
